discuss Google Adwords Change- Avg. Monthly Searches

[AMRO1001]

Today I noticed that Google Adwords no longer is giving an exact figure for the "Average Monthly Searches"

It is just giving me a range, for example a range could be from 10k-100k

It says for detailed view you have to setup and run a camping, I did not try that yet...

Is it only me? How bad is this for estimating domain name value

Adapt and overcome.

Hopefully this wasn't the only metric that you used when deciding on the best investment.

However, when it comes to sales, this is great as it strengthens a pitch. Suppose the range was 10K-100K. Now instead of stating that there are 34,000 exact match searches, you can report that Google has upwards of 100,000 searches for this term. Lie? No. Not according to data released by Google.

This news, though, minimally effects my buying decisions.

Maybe adword is experiencing technical problem.... i just tried to recheck the monthly search volume for one of my keyword domain and i found that its changing my keyword to another word entirely.... like searching for "book" but returning result for "cook".... something that doesnt happen before.

Maybe a white lie?

Not at all..
It's actually a "QUOTE" directly from Google

By the way, I found they are working the old way on my Internet Explorer!
